EU Commission May Challenge US Extraterritorial Laws
The European Commission is scheduled to examine a new bill tomorrow aimed at implementing retaliatory measures against the United States. The legislation seeks to allow the European Union to apply countermeasures to avoid complying with certain American laws. The proposal will move from the Commission of European Affairs to the National Assembly before potentially reaching the European Commission. The source noted that rapid action is required to avoid assuming the costs of US policies. The European Commission may move to declare US embargo laws against Cuba illegal. This action could involve decreeing laws that penalize European companies for trading with countries under US sanctions. The source stated that the Commission can act immediately to counter US extraterritorial legislation and the use of the dollar to impose laws on the rest of the world.
